Gentle Exercise to Music

The group, which runs every Wednesday afternoon from the Newton Stewart Activity Resource Centre (ARC), is aimed at people with limited mobility. 

Feedback from ARC Manager has been very positive, highlighting the health & wellbeing outcomes of their clients are being met every week, including confidence to take part in the activity and supporting their fall prevention outcomes:

“This group continues to be a much needed activity; Pam facilitates

the group and has built up very positive relationships with group members, both staff and users. 

The benefits of this group has enabled many to start moving again, maintain exercise, be involved and included in a social group and meet new friends. 

Improvement of Health and Wellbeing is an outcome for many individuals we support, the exercise group supports the service to meet personal outcomes on a weekly basis.

A great example of the benefit from this group: one lady who has a recorded number of falls and had a recent HIP replacement, has a falls prevention plan in place.  Gentle exercise is part of this; she has started strengthening her muscles again and has had no recorded falls.”
